Aiko Dokter has started to work on his MSc project about platooning strategies for cooperative automated vehicles (CAVs). The project develops and tests platooning strategies under different circumstances, but always in mixed traffic with low penetration rates of CAVs. The strategies can be spontaneous ones or designed and they are tested with simulation.

Sander van Maarseveen started his project on the effects of truck platooning on merging. The project investigates what the traffic performance and safety effects of truck platooning on the motorway are, in the situation of conventional vehicles merging at an on-ramp and for different platooning strategies and platoon configurations.

Start master thesis project of Liza Hodenius on unbundling of traffic. The project investigates under which circumstances it is good to unbundle (separate) traffic flows. The research will use simulation to determine the effects and will result in a decision tree.

Start master thesis project of Marco de Baat on choosing lane change strategies. The project investigates which lane change strategies people apply under which circumstances. This is done using a driving experiment and a questionnaire.

The Wall of Fame contains the covers of ITS Edulab reports, adjusted by fellow students to characterise the writer of the report.

Start project Joost van Kampen

Start:

01/02/2014 - 00:10

Start master thesis project of Joost van Kampen on the development of a decentralized control strategy for route guidance. The project develops a route guidance algorithm, that considers the features of prediction, coordination and efficiency.

Start master thesis project of Lisa Priem on the use of vehicle data for traffic management purposes. The project deals with the possibilities to use uCAN data from vehicles for traffic management purposes.

Start master thesis project of Hans-Peter Kolen on modelling merging behaviour on a freeway on-ramp. The project will look into detail in the merging behaviour of drivers and will develop a model for that, which can be used in microscopic simulation tools.

On October 22nd, 2008 Jop Vlaar defended his thesis on the effects of the use of alternative routes for truck traffic in a part of the network around the harbour of Rotterdam. His thesis was entitled "Alternative Routes A15 Maasvlakte-Vaanplein"

ITS Edulab session at TRAIL Congress

Start:

15/10/2008 - 13:45

During the 10th TRAIL Congress, ITS Edulab organised its own session on its activities. After the welcome Henk Taale presented ITS Edulab, its organisation and what have been done so far. Then some ITS Edulab students talked about their project and their experiences with ITS Edulab. Finally, Serge Hoogendoorn lifted the veil about the future of ITS Edulab.

The presentations of the students are listed below:

Christiaan Hoogmoed: National data warehouse and its impacts on operational traffic management

Coordinated ramp metering was the topic of Yufei Yuan. With simulation he investigated the effects of coordinated ramp metering and parameter settings for the coordinated strategy. He defended his master thesis, entitled "Coordination of Ramp Metering Control in Motorway Networks", on July 23rd, 2008.

Defense Marc Stanescu

Start:

07/05/2008 - 11:30

Marc has worked on 'Adaptive Ramp Metering'. He defended his master thesis on the use ofÂ capacity estimation methods in ramp metering control algorithms on May 7th, 2008.

Defense Koen Adams

Start:

11/04/2008 - 16:00

On April 11th, 2008, Koen Adams defended his master thesis 'Safety and Throughput during incidents'.

May 1st, 2007 was a big day for ITS Edulab. The official opening took place in the Testcentre of Rijkswaterstaat, Delft. Some 100 persons attented the opening and listened to presentations of mr. Al, the director of the Centre for Transport and Navigation, prof. De Quelerij, dean of the faculty of Civil Engineering of the Delft University of Technology, mr. Van Hees, director of the National Traffic Control Centre of Rijkswaterstaat and two of the ITS Edulab students.
